Hellooooooooooo,
So... many of you will have heard the news that the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ have proposed that ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Switch be shut down. We wanna say thank you to everyone that's been signing petitions and campaigning on forums - we heart you all!
If you do want to let the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ know how you feel about the proposed cuts, you can do so .
We promise to tell you any news we have as soon as possible.
Big love,
Team Switch x

I think if we can save ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Switch, the 5:19 show definitely needs some upgrading, because at the moment I just find it really cheesy. Sorry, I know that's probably not what you wanted to hear, nor is it directly related to The Cut, I'm just trying to help.

I noticed ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ switch syndicated Kyle XY, that was a great move but I think ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ was sloppy in doing so. I recall it took ages for them to air the second season, and I'm doubtful that the third season will ever air (but hey, it got canceled anyway). Partly what I'm getting at is that the UK seems to take a while in getting US TV over water. Then again, I guess it's also expensive syndicate popular US TV.
ITV have the rights to some great programmes like Gossip Girl, Supernatural, Vampire Diaries and Glee. Shame ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ didn't think to get any of these in the bag...
I'm certainly not going to suggest the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ try creating their own versions. Frankly UK programming is so cheap a lot of the time, I'm especially skeptical about the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ pulling off anything with a hyper-reality. As in, even Doctor Who, the most popular drama on the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ wreaks of cheapness a lot of the time.
Might be worth taking some of the budget used for ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ switch and creating some decent original programming. Maybe somesort of gadget/gaming show that's in-touch with the gaming/gadget scene and not padded out with silly segments. And/or a decent drama, as long as it's not toned-down and budgeted.
